[ click. cue Raven Darkholme, in a flightsuit that's kinda like the Tranquility jumpsuit, only this one comes in blue and yellow. s-so stylish. for whatever reason, she's been wearing that around more often than not since she got back from the jump. well, when she's out and about. which... she hasn't been much lately, not as much as usual. new memories from home meant new things to think about. she needed time to process. still needs it. and it's a little obvious by her posture and her expression that she's a little bit distracted, isn't ready to get back into the swing of things just like before... but not without getting in touch with a few people first. ]

This is going to sound much worse than it really is, but at this point I'm not sure how else to say it, so - I'm looking for a fighting partner. Not sparring, not training, but someone that would be up for fighting with me, every so often. I know we have a fight club, but before I do that, I'd like to try more one-on-one, hand-to-hand fighting first. I don't need a babysitter, or a punching bag... I need someone that I can trust, and someone that won't hold out on me. Maybe we can meet up at the next fight club first, but I'm looking for something to do outside of that.

[ breathes! ]

... Yeah. Yes, I'm serious. No, I'm not asking for someone to try and beat me up, it's not a power play, or a weird backwards question. I just need more experience in actual fighting. No more tiptoeing around it, I wanna learn.

[ and now slouching a little bit in her chair, like she's said all the stuff that she was a little nervous about. ah! yes. good. done. ]

Anyway, how's everybody holding up?

[ PRIVATE TO SECURITY TEAM MEMBERS: ENCRYPTION 45%]

I wanna join the security team. I've been on this ship long enough, and I think I could help out in keeping the people here safe. I'd really like to, anyway. How do I go about doing that?

[ PRIVATE TO USS ENTERPRISE CREW: ENCRYPTION 45% ]

So... As you can see, my transmission encryptions are still pretty awful [ damnit 1962!!!! ] -so I was wondering, if any of you have some time... and you're really bored... Do you think you could maybe show me how to beef them up a little bit? I know how to use the communicator just fine, but the whole encryption thing is still pretty confusing to me. But! Only because I've never actually had someone explain it to me. [ why is this so nerve racking? ] If it's too weird a request, I can ask somebody else. I just noticed you guys have some of the heaviest encryptions on this thing, so I thought I would ask you three first. ..Thanks, either way.

[Nope, she's not even going to argue, question, or reason with this line of logic. Instead, Rey is just... Rey:]

I can fight. I don't hold back. [Wouldn't know how if she ever tried]

You would be...welcome on the security team, madam, but - I think you do just need a sparring partner.

ill do it
38)

do what? wait. what does 38 mean?

[ emotes are hard ok ]

[ BROWQUIRK. ]

Why's that?

Isn't that what a sparring partner does? Fights with you for practice?

[ YES GOOD. ]

Really?

I'm sure Tyke would be willing to let you join up.

...Have you ever... been in a fight before?

Sparring is different than actual fighting. It's pulling punching, asking 'are you okay?' every time a hit lands. That's not what I need anymore.

That simple?

No. That's the point.

What are you wearing?

[because that is the most important thing here]

But it is important to know whether or not you are okay.

But I'm always fine, I can take it. Real fights don't end with the other person asking are you okay. [ Raven's in a mood, sob. ] That's the point.

It makes enough sense that I don't see why not, seeing that we find ourselves in life or death situations often. It is better to be prepared.

So - what? That "are you okay" detracts from the realism of it? Is that it?

-- My... jumpsuit? [ FROWNS. looks down. it's way sexy!! and badass. CHECK OUT THAT CLEAVAGE ACTION. ALL THOSE ZIPPERS. ] It's from home.

Pretty much. She might ask you what you think your qualifications are.

[There's a pause as he considers this for a moment.] It probably depends on the kind of fighter you want to pit yourself against. A boxer? A ninja? Someone with military training? A guerilla fighter?

That's part of it. [ why is this so hard to explain :c ] Have you ever sparred with someone?

...I realize we haven't spoken much, but I feel we need to have a heart-to-heart about the yellow spandex.

If you still desire a tutor, I would not be averse to instructing you.

[ quinn still looks awful. she feels it too. she's barely holding up. honestly she wants to curl up into a ball and die, because she doesn't see the point of trying to survive right now.

she's not gonna say that though. ]

I like the outfit.

_{[ This is Jake on video. He's gawking a bit, wearing his little green helmet, trying to figure out some words to say.
Alas, nothing is really coming to mind.

You might want to nudge him a bit, Raven. ]}

If you're on a security team, make sure you aren't anywhere near mine.

See you got your jumpsuit.

I assume you know what the fuck you did, now?

Only 1 SEC team. You got an issue?

Yeah, I do.

I'll work with her if I have to, but I would prefer she isn't on my shift.

[Edit after seeing her answer]

She goes to work for a guy who tries to commit genocide against humanity.
